Hi Dave,
I'm not understanding your example. This looks like an implementation of dropcap
using a side float for the first letter of the para. There is no such dropcap
implemented in the stock DocBook XSL, so that must be coming from a customization
layer.
A float is used when you want the dropcap to cover more than one line of the
paragraph. If you don't use a float, the the second line of text will overwrite the
big letter. The float forces the next line to give it space.

I have said I'm using fop
<!-- For fop usage -->
<xsl:param name="fop1.extensions" select="1"></xsl:param>
fop 1.0 doesn't support floats.
Is the use here necessary?
I'm not at all sure I see its purpose?
